Monday Morning Commentary

This weekend we continued in our series, Living a Better Story and if you have not heard any of these messages, you are missing out.  This series has been so helpful for me and so many others.

My husband opened up the message in Jeremiah 1:5,
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
   before you were born I set you apart;
   I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

He said something (something that was not necessarily new, or all that profound, that is until I took it to heart) that I hope will stick with me for a long time... "God chose me before I ever did anything wrong AND before I did anything right!"

If you really take this to heart, it will change your life.  I can cancel the audition because God has designed me for my part, and I never really had to try out.  I realize that I can stop auditioning for my friends, my family, my church members (hello PWs), my critics, and even my children because God custom designed me for the part He wanted me to play.

This message was so powerful.  You can listen to the message at the Elevation Network, in our archive and on our podcast.  You can also download our Elevation iPhone app and have the messages in your phone each week too.  Have a great Monday!

I've just started really listening to messages from Elevation church with the Code Orange revival. I live in PA. I decided to google your name and came across your blog. It's a great blessing to read your writings! Know that you have yet another person praying for you and your family.

I really enjoyed yesterdays sermon. It is so refreshing to hear that I do NOT have to audition anymore. I especially took to heart that the "thing" I try to hide is exactly what God wants to use.....possibly to help someone else. My family just loves Elevation!! Thank you both for everything your doing, your most definetly helping my family-God Bless

that part about the "audition" just rocked my world. I think I need to go listen to that message right now...
